Closing out April and in honor of Autism Acceptance Month, this week's in-between is about Neurodiversity. I have special guest and fellow neurodiverse friend, Alex Armijo, joining me in the discussion! Alex is an DEI thought leader, a disability, LGBTQIA+, and human rights advocate, and overall badass human being.
Here are the highlights of the episode:
- What is neurodiversity?
- What is masking? Why can it be problematic to your health?
- Behaviors of someone who may be neurodiverse
- Alex shares their journey on how they were diagnosed with ADHD, as well as Autism, including available resources for your to use too!
- What is the RAADsS-R test? Check this out: https://embrace-autism.com/raads-r/
- Why social media can be a good place...sometimes; for context, Alex and I share our personal experiences with TikTok and how seeing real people discuss their condition helped us understand ourselves better
- Why knowledge is freedom
- How we view our neurodiverse conditions as superpowers
- Accommodate yourself! What this means and what you can do for you
I am so excited to share this episode with you all and hope you enjoy.
